We have an office in India, and I tend to agree with you. People from that culture tend not to make the best project managers. Perhaps just a cultural thing. I'd be interested in better understanding the dynamics of what makes a good developer, and a good project manager, and if there's any relationship between those and ones home culture.

Well, don't jump to cultural conclusions too fast! I used to work for one of Ross Perot's companies here in the US. Every project was approached the same way "get it done fast and fix it later". Then they would wait until someone complained about a problem. Quite often the 'fix' revolved around hiring a permanent team of unskilled people to do some tasks manually.
